A very practical observation: be careful when listening music while driving, it can be dangerous! It happened to me, more than once, to sing what’s been playing on my CD player and due to the rhythm to step on the acceleration pedal more than needed or…to have guts to “force the entry” of an intersection…Not good! Trust me!
I am not a reckless driver, no way, I like to think I am a “defensive” driver, meaning I let you pass if I consider it is better for the situation and I don’t have that “me first” complex. But when listening to a high paced song, a “driving song”, man, I lose it sometimes!!! And I become mean!!! Ha, ha, ha!!! Me first, me first!!
I guess it is the same with everyone of you, right? Once you turn up the volume on your auto CD player and a song that gives you wings comes on, you become an other you, right? A meaner you, with way more guts! Look, mom,I’m king of the road!!
A few songs that drive me wild on the road: Highway to hell (AC/DC), Balls to the wall (Accept), Hard times come easy (Richie Sambora), Youth gone wild (Skid Row), etc. Actually, I think a driving song needs 2 a few ingredients : a steady, “easy to feel” beat (4/4), with balance, a good melody and, in my opinion, a positive attitude.
Even love songs will do. Here’s a Romanian band, (Holograf) and a song that really makes my day when I am behind the wheel. It is my favorite Romanian band (about 30 years of playing) so you get the chance to taste a bit of Romanian culture (again)! The song is called Romeo and Juliet, please make an effort to listen to it even if you don’t understand the lyrics.
So, let me hear you!
What gets your engine started when behind the wheel !?!

I have to think back for this one. We’ve not owned a car for over two years now!
Apart from the music from the burbling V8 monster we used to have, the obvious choice would be the whole Appetite For Destruction album. Not so obvious would be some of the more rocky Jamiroquai stuff like Deeper Underground, Black Capricorn Day etc.

OK for both, maybe more for GNR cause I don’t quite like Jamiroquai, or not in a way to listen to him while driving.

Anything hard and loud for me is driving music. It sure does release the monster. I love the looks I get from passing cars. I know everyone has music that gets them headbangin’ and singing in their cars too so it doesn’t make me feel as bad for looking crazy. Van Halen gets me going pretty good.

I got my first speeding ticket driving to ZZ Top’s “She Loves My Automobile”.
My favorite driving music is Tribal Tech, Scott Henderson’s old fusion band.

A bit unusual, I was expecting something more “direct” than a fusion band. I rather listen “easier” music while driving, to get me in the mood and relax me at the same time. But of course, that’s me, probably this is what relaxes you.
